Cameras: Polaroid 800 and 100a

I have the coolest uncle Bill ever– he gave me a pogo stick, dresses like the Crocodile Hunter, takes me to Finland (with my Aunt Paivi:)), makes my and this summer gave me 7 cameras!

(LtoR, Top: Polaroid 110a, Polaroid 800, Polaroid SX-70
Row 2: Polaroid Spirit, Keystone 16mm movie camera, Holga 120n, Yashica MG-1, Kombi Camera
Row 3: Minolta X-370, Pentax K-1000, Diana Lens for Nikon, Canon Pellix)

Beauties. Unfortunately there has been no film for these cameras since 1991, but there are camera hacks that I could do to get some pictures out of ’em. 🙂 I found some great directions here and I am in a photography class this fall and I think I’ll try my hand at “Film Alternative #1” with the darkroom.

These cameras were 2 of Polaroid’s instant rollfilm cameras.

I think old cameras like this are so interesting to look at– it doesn’t matter if I can get 100 pictures out of them or not, I think they are neat decorations. I really hope I can get them to work though– I love the photos that other people have taken with both.
